Hello,
I hope this message finds you well.
This is to inform you about the available sorter options in our code completion engine and how to change them as needed. Currently, there are four different sorter configurations you can choose from:
1.
AlphabeticSorter – Sorts suggestions in alphabetical order.
2.
ReverseAlphabeticSorter – Sorts suggestions in reverse alphabetical order.
3.
NoSorter – Displays suggestions in the original order as provided by the completion engine.
4.
SizeSorter – Modifies the suggestion list to prioritize and return the closest match based on what you are currently typing.
If you would like to change the sorter, please follow these steps:
Open Settings → Code Browsing → Code Completion → Sorter , then select SizeSorter (or any other preferred sorter).
Default Sorter : NoSorter

But pay attention that we will remove the sorter because it often contradicts the semantics sorting implemented
by default. I often put the sorter on NoSorter.

Is there documentation of the intended behavior/reasoning behind the
semantic sort somewhere? I feel like I might often prefer the SizeSorter
behavior (if I'm understanding it correctly), but if that's going to be
removed, maybe I would take a look at the semantic sorter and see if I can
add some refinement options there.

You can check the heuristic class but in essence
tmp > local variables> superclass variables
self message -> method in the class then in superclass
super message -> the right one
ClassName -> shared var > sharedVar of superclass > global environment
The problem of size is that often it proposes you something that is just out of scope just because it is smaller
and globally sorting breaks all the rest.
So if we keep it we should just through away all the rest because why bothering if this is just to break everythinng after
We are working on better heuristics for class names:
H1 we look in repository level package (all the packages within the project)
So this is local package > package in the same project > global
H2 we look in the dependent packages and the results are promising.
So this is local to package > dependent packages > global
Now I’m thinking that we could also have a way to declare preference per project.
For example with Copiy Domenico could simple look first in his package and extensions.
The current heuristics also takes into account playground variables.
We are also working on taking into account the past method defined.
So as you see this is not just sorting.
